    Its cheap soundbar that is very light so don’t believe the power output of it because it’s no more than 10w at best. It’s simple to setup via Bluetooth as it only has one hdmi in and optical bit with optical you can get sync problems. I will probably buy another soundbar as this one just isn’t very good and use it ony pc instead. If you want something cheap this will be ok but if your reading it and think it’s going to be 40w it just isn’t. Spend a little more and get something that will sound bette

    This is a superb piece of kit, great bass unit but try it in diferrent positions for best result, bluetooth connection makes this easy.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis doesn’t come with Dolby or DTS certification, but for 75 this is a great upgrade to TV speakers. You will need to purchase a cable to connect to your TV as one isn’t provided. If your TV has an HDMI port with ARC or eARC labeled against it then connect to that, otherwise connect via an optical cable, neither option should set you back much more than 5. The room that this is in is about 5m square and it fills it comfortably. The sound quality is decent, but you would have to spend more than double for something better really. I wasn’t expecting much from the tiny base unit, but it’s perfect for deep rumbles and just adds something that your TV will never be able to compete with. There is no screen to indicate what is going on, so there’s a learning curve to the flashing coloured LED indicator (keep the manual handy). EQ: Movie mode, News mode (for dialogue), Music mode and Custom mode… all are distinct enough and fit for purpose.

    Overall, this product will elevate your movie watching experience and offer you a another way to Bluetooth your music/podcasts.

    If you experience lag between people speaking and the audio you hear, try turning off any ‘special audio’ features from your TV settings and let the soundbar do the computing work.

    Been using this now for almost an year now. The main speaker is connected to my TV via an Optical cable. The subwoofer unit is placed at least 11-12 feet away diagonally from the speaker and connects-pairs-works excellently over Bluetooth. Subwoofer unit also requires a separate power source.

    Downside of the soundbar- ‘Apparently’ when connected via Optical cable it doesn’t augment the TV’s own volume rather has a slight lag, so gives a very bad echo effect. Resultantly, we have to mute the TV vol. when using this soundbar (which we do only when watching movies or music-vids.).
    I didn’t connect this one with an HDMI cable, but feel it might work in sync with the TV’s own speaker vol.

    I wanted to improve the quality of my sound without having to invest silly prices. This soundbar definitely does the trick. It’s easy to set up. Bear in mind that it doesn’t come with either hdmi and/or optical wire so you will need one (I already knew it and had optical).
    The soundbar is not huge in size but the sound quality out from it is pretty decent. The wireless subwoofer is really straightforward to set up, don’t expect a massive sound from it though.
    Bluetooth functionality is also easy to set up and hook up with different devices.
    If you are looking for something to improve your audio/sound from tv in a small space, definitely worth the investment and you won’t be disappointed.

    Once both bar and subwoofer are connected, the sound is excellent. The remote volume control is a bit hit and miss. Not very responsive at times.

    Having a subwoofer in addition to the sound bar itself makes a large difference. The sound it very clear and crisp, and I feel like all pitches are covered well. Having a loose subwoofer also really helps with placement. This will destroy your TV’s speakers! Just don’t forget to buy your own input cable (I went with an optical cable myself), as this will always sound better than Bluetooth, although of course the Bluetooth does sound good too.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersAs other reviewers mentioned, irritatingly, the unit is not supplied with connecting leads so as Amazon recommended an optical lead I purchase this at the same time. After some considerable frustration I found that an HDMI cable was needed to connect to my TV, and not the optical cable. I have returned the optical cable and it now all works well.
    Although the sub-woofer is connected to the TV via Bluetooth, the unit still needs to be connected to a mains power supply, so it is not strictly wireless.
    The sound bar fits neatly under my Samsung 43″ Smart TV.
    The remote control is a bit fiddly but basic controls operate via the TV remote, so it is only needed to set the various equalizer settings.
    Overall I am very happy with the SHARP HT-SBW182 soundbar.

    Very good for listening to music from phone or laptop. Sound is a lot better and effects are enhanced. However, Sound from TV is not so good as the dialogues are a bit suppressed.

    If you are looking to upgrade your TV sound this is just good. If you place the subwoofer away from TV you might feel a cinema experience however don’t expect the subwoofer to be the loadest because of the size but it is good enough to enjoy a movie and no to make angry your neighbors with noise.

    What I did not like was that my unit come without any sound cables. For this price Shark should include at least a HDMI cable to make people happy and ready to go . luckily I had one and I was able to mount the unit but I was very disappointed it didn’t came with one.

    Easy to set up from the box! Connects to the sub without any wires, comes with no hdmi cable (not a problem I bought one separately) but can connect to your tv via bluetooth. Sounds clear coming through the speakers and you can feel the base that comes through the sub, would highly recommend.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersNothing to dislike with this. Use an optical audio cable. Plug n Pair and it’s done.
    The sub woofer is the major player here. Whether you get this one or not, a sub woofer is a must.

    Update: Reduced to 4 stars. The remote control for some obscure reason has sloped base which is curved at the battery housing so much so, that picking it up off the floor after its rolled off the table/tv stand is a common occurrence. The i/O button is also too close to the pairing button causing unwanted pairing on occasion. Working wise its as described above.

    Golden Review Award: 7 From Our UsersThis sounds great. Star wars, a New Hope is good test of the sub woofer. It rumbles a lot when the first Imperial cruiser passes over at the start. It sits behind the sofa easily because there are no speaker cables to worry about. Remote is good too but I’m using ARC so my TV remote controls it instead. It goes off when I switch the TV off and on again when the TV is turned on. For under 100, you can’t go wrong IMO. I would buy it again, put it that way.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersIt is what it is, decent sound for the price….not going to bring joy to not picky audiophiles, but as a replacement for the TV’s basic sound, it’s great.
    Easy to install, plenty of connection choices, and unlike most in this price point, decent remote with adjustable bass and treble.
    Set up is straight out of the box easy.
